| | 2 | Notes for installing Matlab 2014a on node1-1 of sb2. |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | 1. The Matlab install is big and requires a 64bit kernel (no 32bit installer avialable from software). Image was loaded with the following omf command |
| | 5 | {{{ |
| | 6 | omf load -t node1-2.sb2.orbit-lab.org -i baseline-ubuntu-12-04-64bit-3.8.0-35-generic.ndz -r 40 |
| | 7 | }}} |
| | 8 | Note the '''-r 40''' which indicates to resize the partition to 40 GB. |
| | 9 | 2. Once imaged I copied the matlab_R2014a_glnxa64.zip file to the node and logged in as root. |
| | 10 | 3. I needed to install the java-run time library and the unzip tool to get the installer started. |
| | 11 | {{{ |
| | 12 | apt-get update |
| | 13 | apt-get install unzip default-jre |
| | 14 | }}} |
| | 15 | 4. The installer launches (will need x11 forwardwing). Follow the installers prompts and choose web based activation. Additionally I specified the install dir as /opt/MATLAB/2014a |
| | 16 | 5. Once the install is complete, matlab will fail to launch because of a missing library (even with the -nodisplay flag): '''libXmu.so.6 '''. There is apparently an apt-package for this library. |
| | 17 | {{{ |
| | 18 | apt-get install libxmu6 |
| | 19 | }}} |
| | 20 | Once This is installed, matlab should sucessfully launch (same x11 forwarding fiat). |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | '''Note:''' As an aside I made symbolic links to /bin/true for /usr/bin/wimaxd and /usr/sbin/wimaxd. This is apparently needed for OMF to function properly. |
